The Federal Motor Carriers Safety Administration (FMCSA) placed additional emphasis on the safety of shippers (offerors) of hazardous materials for transportation by highway during March - April 2002. This special emphasis project was designated 'HM SHIPPER CHECK 2002.' The goal of this project was to reduce the risk of HM incidents (spills) by targeting HM shippers. A secondary goal of the project focused on HM shipper data collection. The data collected will help in us in achieving the following goals: (1) it allows us to improve the shipper prioritization list; (2) the data enables FMCSA to better analyze and determine other ways of identifying high risk shippers; and (3) the data will permit us to target high risk shippers in order to conduct Shipper Compliance Reviews. Shipper Check 2002 consisted of packaging inspections conducted at dockside, less-than truckload facilities, intermodal facilities and roadside. Shipper Check 2002 provided an opportunity for FMCSA personnel to work with our 'ONE DOT' and State partners. A number of Division Offices elected to conduct shipper compliance reviews in addition to the packaging inspections.
